SNOWFLAKE REVERIE (c) By Polly Guerin

Must the snowflake be so fleeting,

In its wintry frozen greeting?

Melting our hearts with intricate memories

What story would each snowflake freeze?

In time to unlock our hearts in global love

As the silent, frosty gift descends from above

Swirling and dancing before the windowpane

A zillion snowflakes no two alike in the frame

Lacy and fragile each snowflake in frozen glory

Diverse complexity tells myriad lifetime stories

There’s great beauty in this master plan

Treasure the infinite design because you can

Each snowflake new, six sided on view

Frozen snow crystal lets us renew

Our childlike marvel and joyful heart

Re-capture each moment before you part

Like life’s short lived past

Must the snowflake melt so fast?
